    Our waiter was great. He was very attentive and knew we had a show to get to so he helped expedite our meal. He was very efficient but also friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful.

    Wonderful food with exceptional service. Only disappointment was that they had run out of an advertised special.

    Very good, as usual. We know why we go there and we are never disappointed. However, the food is little bit too much on the salt side.

    We dined on New Year Eve ..... we know that can be a dicey time to go but we wanted to celebrate our Anniversary. The wait staff was great but the food was not so great. Hubby had the trout and it was wonderful. I had the rotisserie chicken. I will never get it again. The presentation was horrible, they put the butt end of the chicken on the plate that had no color at all to it and all I could think was why did you not cut that off? The chicken tasted fine...a tad dry though. The corn bread stuffing with brussel sprouts was inedible. It was way to sweet and the brussel sprouts were on the yellow side...not roasted at all or even green. All in all very disapointing meal.

    The restaurant is beautiful inside and everything was wonderful. Our service was great. I feel like the steaks were a little more expensive for no particular reason. Don’t get me wrong, they were good, but price wise, it didn’t add up. Also, not a fan of the Cesar salad. Lots of places try to out their own spin on it and I wish they wouldn’t.
